Phil McNulty, BBC Sport chief football writer: Everton have been accused of lacking heart and fighting spirit away from Goodison Park. Not today - so that is why that goal from Andy Robertson will pain them so much. They have been well-organised and frustrated Liverpool. They have even had chances in this second but it is all uphill now.

(The Guardian) 64 min Diaz kills a crossfield pass with an unbelievable first touch - a kind of flying rabona - then hares past Coleman and stabs a cross shot that is blocked by Pickford. That first touch was outrageous. He was in mid-air, his right foot wrapped round his left, and controlled it with the side of the foot.
65 min That first touch!

(The Guardian) 66 min: Off the line by Holgate! Matip’s header is cleared off the line by Holgate, and Salah volleys the rebound over the bar. That was a really good chance for Salah. Pickford was all over the place, having climbed over Jota to punch the ball clear. He thought he was fouled.
67 min Alexander-Arnold’s left-footed cross is glanced wide by the backpedalling Origi. It’s all Liverpool now, both in terms of possession and chances. This game is probably over.

(The Guardian) 70 min Diaz’s shot takes a deflection and spins onto the roof of the net. He has been spectacularly good since coming on.

(The Guardian) 71 min “According to my weather app, it’s 62 degrees in Liverpool,” says Joe Pearson. “Why on earth is Klopp wearing a long puffy coat!?” There’s nothing underneath though. Nothing.

(The Guardian) 72 min: So close from Gray! What an effort that was. The brilliant Gordon held off Matip and found Iwobi, who squared it to Gray 25 yards out. He took a touch and sweetspotted a rising drive that flashed just wide and smacked the post behind the goal. Alisson’s desperate dive betrayed how worried he was.
73 min A change for Everton: Dele Alli replaces Allan, who has worked his nylon/elastane socks off.

(The Guardian) 75 min “Sorry to be the classic bitter blue, but why does nobody in the media EVER point out the clear advantage of being a title-chasing team playing at home with the current standard Premier league officiating?” says Philip Malcolm. “Jota could have had two reds in the first half and if it’s Michael Keane hauling down Salah in front of the Kop, that’s a penalty all day.” Everton have been very unlucky with decisions today. It’s hard to place it in a wider context though. We all think we know the best teams get more favourable decisions, because apparently referees are human beings as well, but I don’t know how you quantify it.

Stephen Warnock, Former Liverpool defender on BBC Radio 5 Live: What about the changes that Jurgen Klopp made? Take a midfielder off, put a forward on. He's gone four up front, effectively two down the middle and two wide men. They didn't need three midfielders to manage Everton, so those substitutions have effectively changed the game.

(The Guardian) 76 min A quiet little spell. Liverpool have the game under control at the moment, though they would like a second ASAP.

(The Guardian) 77 min Origi plays a give-and-go with Salah and runs into Keane in the area. Liverpool want a penalty; Stuart Attwell isn’t interested. At worst it was obstruction.
78 min Another Everton change: Salomon Rondon replaces Demarai Gray.

(The Guardian) 78 min “While I agree Everton can take heart from this performance, so far,” says Rob Moore, “I’d imagine it’s a lot easier getting up for a derby against your title-chasing rivals than it is against Leicester or Brentford, for instance. And that’s only to do with rivalry, and not a slight against either of those two respectable teams.” I would agree with that if they weren’t slap-bang in the middle of a relegation battle. Every game should be of equal importance, both consciously and unconsciously.
